Hay Group’s research on megatrends and organisational implications 01
What are megatrends? Megatrends are long- term transformational processes on a global scale, with a broad scope and dramatic impact Time Reach Impact They fundamentally transform policies, society and the economy Observable over decades, they can be projected with a high degree of probability at least 15 years into the future They affect all regions and stakeholders, including governments, individuals and businesses

We wanted to know how these megatrends will change working and leadership practices at three different levels: Corporate environment Megatrend Megatrend Organisation Megatrend Individual and team
Megatrend 1: globalisation 2.0 Key characteristics Increasing globalisation Shift in economic balance of power to Asia Rise of a global middle class ‘Re-regionalisation’ and ‘glocalisation’

Megatrend 3: individualisation and value pluralism Key characteristics Individualism as a global phenomenon Value pluralisms: work-life balance, self fulfillment and self-expression, values-driven engagement Rise of the creative class From mass to micro markets Decline of loyalty to organisations

Megatrend 5: demographic change Key characteristics World population growing and ageing, but demographic imbalances Aging society demands generational leadership War for talent, brain drain, brain cycle Increasing migration; will drive cultural diversity
